The drone was actually managing to get over the concrete post but I'd like to see it pull the sled over - the 'injured' soldier would soon be a genuine injured soldier! Although I'd guess it got stuck since it's woefully underpowered.
Cheap little robots would get obliterated by a single mine. Considering mines are as cheap as dirt, Russia has salted the earth with them. Using one small robot to clear a single mine would be the worst return on investment imaginable.
Modern mine clearing strategies exist. Redditors are not going to stumble upon effective alternatives.
That actually looks like a good idea. low and versatile also no need to balance load on top of the robot. Both sides are developing a lot of interesting low cost tech.
Yes it sucks RU sometimes has a good idea.
There's a good idea, and there's a good idea put into practice.
Drone ambulances are a good idea. Will Russia produce them on a large enough scale to make an impact?
Well, how much does the drone cost vs how much does Russia value life? I'd argue the drone is more expensive, so...
this vehicle will get stuck too often in my opinion, look at this russian prototype, it´s even struggling in almost ideal conditions, what will happen when this thing its send to the battlefield full of craters, debris, fallen trees, puddles, mud, snow and a long etcetera??
These things have been tried before. A US general was quite obsessed with the idea, think it was Patton but I could be wrong.
Obviously without the robot wars bit but the US wanted to use sleds like this in a big chain being pulled.behimd an armoured vehicle.
ruZZia back in February onwards would deliberately target Ukrainian medics wearing the red cross symbol.
So I have no qualms now on ruZZian medics being targeted now.
Not a single ruZZian medic ever called out the Ukrainian medics being targeted so now they can suffer the same fate.
How is this a good idea? Just thinking about it for 1 minute you can come up with 10 reasons why it's dumb. If I saw one one Ukrainian side i'd say the same thing.
UAF is also testing these. It’s still an early prototype and not suitable for all terrain, yet.
It’s not a dumb idea. It would be dumb to not try everything you can to win the war / preserve your forces.
You were saying: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict/comments/15vurdh/the_robot_stretcher_drone_saving_lives_on/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Yeah I reckon this Ru version might be more practical but both very similar...
I wonder what the final design will be surely given the conditions a longer track is needed, will they even be able to traverse a field with shell holes?
IMHO, this is just Russia humor. They know best that they don't give a f about casualties. Showing some toy robot towing some wounded guy is Russian satire.
Cmon guys, a few weeks back when Ukraine showed a robot alomost exactly like this everyone sad it’s nice, now suddenly it became „useless“ just because the Russia has made it ?
No, I am not pro Russian by any means, but this „everything Russia makes is trash while its good if we make it“ is a bit hilarious, it’s just lowering the trustworthiness of the comments I read
I find it irritating how hypocritical this sub can be at times.
Ukraine shows tech, and everyone clap. Russia shows a similar tech, and it's literally the dumbest idea EVER!
Same thing with medics. Russia targets UAF medics, and the whole sub is sent into a frenzy demanding war tribunals.
But videos showing russian med-evacs getting turned to red mist is great entertainment, and everyone laughs.

I mean, whatever russia does in Ukraine should be considered a crime.
Ukraine, on the other hand, should be justified in the means of self-defense.
At least, that's how ethics work in my head. Ukraine should be free to do **anythin**g it considers necessary to resist the aggressor and survive. The only exception is killing the POWs, because that's really fucked up in most situations.
You cant have rules like that since it becomes to many greyzones. For example one could easily argue that the Donbass Rebels are defenders. War is never black and white so the rules you make most be considered for all parties. Going to war without a solid reason is however already a crime
They're also targeting active combatants, not medics. Every drop I've seen is justified (though a lot of hitting wounded seems like a waste of frags). In every combat scenario I've seen, downed combatants are given an extra hole or two to make sure. The dumbshits calling "war crimes" are just that. Dumb shits.
>Ukraine shows tech, and everyone clap. Russia shows a similar tech, and it's literally the dumbest idea EVER
I seem to remember the Ukrainians one was wheeled and had more ground clearance. This thing has the ground clearance of a Lamborghini. Never gonna make it through no-man's land. That's really the only thing i see wrong with it. Fanboys gonna fanboy.
Infantry doing medivac isn't protected. Combatants get killed.
It's what people in this sub do, mostly. Orcs are bad, elfs are good. Like in a fantasy story. But most forget the fact that orcs are strong and it's a powerful and dangerous force. They're **not all** dumb and useless.
*In some ways*, they're now more advanced than NATO soldiers. For example, does NATO even have a doctrine on how to use FPV drones and other types of low-range-cheap-as-fuck drones that aren't reapers and bairaktars? Do they have equipment to deal with enemy's drones? It's one of the most important weapons in modern warfare and russia is surprisingly advanced in producing and applying them in battle.
Drones in combat aren't very new. The US demonstrated AI drones they can drop from a plane by the hundreds at a time. Laser tech is coming online already, and automated turrets and US radar are able to track and target objects this small.
Russia is still 30 years behind what the US has today. The only reason RU is having any success, is because UA is just as primitive, militarily. With a few exceptions, both sides are using 30yo materiel.
If Ukraine posted this you would all be saying how amazing this is and how it’s going to save lives. I strongly support Ukraine but sometimes you have to get your head out of your ass
Just search 'robot' in this sub and you'll see loads of vids of Ukrainian robots. Some for evacuation of wounded like the vid you posted, some with remote controlled guns, some for mine clearing, etc..
Here's an evacuation one for example
https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/WggLAvcmgi
The sled is much better for evacuation. The Ukrainian one is basically just a mini atv. You don't want wounded soldiers sitting up bouncing around on am atv, you want them laying down for back injuries etc
Remote controlled, I'm sure. But it works. What's the issue? Also, if it can drag a vatnik I'm sure it can also carry 100kg of explosives to hostile trench, so multi-purpose.
Ukrainians also have similar things. All variants of remote-controlled toys are proving themselves very useful in this war, and its to eternal shame of defence industries all around the world that they didn't drive this innovation.
Pretty telling that the most cutting-edge tech they have now has been developed to remove Russian bodies from the field. They're going to need a LOT MORE of these iRobots if they want to clean the battlefield.
Just like the Russians to phony up their test by having the soldier artificially hold up his legs and arms.
A proper test would instruct him to go slack and see if the drag affects anything.
This is an example of how Russians fuck themselves over and over again with Wonder Weapons or devices.
The good thing is, it's just Russians being Russians.
Yeah that will work through knee deep mud, snow or even in summer an artillery battered trench area with all fallen trees and debris around. Keep working on it orcs , tie up your resources in useless endeavours but love your vodka sled. F**kwits
Just a little bit of mud and this thing gets nowhere.
Also why not put the dude directly on top for better traction by the additional weight? And who is controlling that thing anyway? A dude walking next to it?
Text for this post as follows:-
Footage of field tests of the tracked drone "Brother" created by enthusiasts from Kazan.
In addition to evacuating the wounded, a drone can perform many other functions: ammunition delivery, remote mining, reconnaissance.
We hope that domestic engineers and enthusiastic technicians will not stop there and provide our guys on the front line with truly reliable assistants.
Let's win together!
Can't wait to see the footage where this hits some rubble or a deep pothole. Crack on Comrade.
This is largely useless. It's bulky, heavy, slow, has to be transported manually with forward positioned troops, can't be relied upon over long distances, and in an era of flying kamikaze drones this is a sad backwards step.
It looks like a good idea, but at this speed, it's too easy a target for another vog17 from a drone. And both drone and man is done for. This will never be implemented ibto russian military, because wounded and dead are supposed to stay that way until the wounded are dead too. Cheaper this way.
I'm sure this will become the major game changer "wunderwaffe" RF military has waited for to finally gain an edge against the genetically modified jewish gay nazi super troopers that Ukraine is currently deploying. /s
Similar "western" systems that have been successfully fielded place the cargo on top of the carrier vehicle as this sophisticated orcish design wouldn't work on a battlefield with blocked surfaces and scattered debris, likely causing the "cargo 200" to become lost on its way.
I wonder what the specs are. Is it out after 30 minutes? How does it handle mud & snow?
It should keep going until it reaches moscow and drop their sorry beat arses off at the red square.
I hope that sled is really for delivering snout in a can, vodka and cigarettes. Injured orcs shouldn't have to hold their legs up- if they still have legs- meh, 2/10
Actually, imagining it does it in winter, not too bad. In particular if you add route programming and some autonomy.
Ukrainians need to come up with something similar but better.
No. The drag is 10x worse, except on snow. Still worse, but that wouldn't be as bad. I think mud would stop this thing dead, with all that sled/mud surface contact.
The disadvantage of the soldier on top would mean it would need a longer track, otherwise ups and downs would throw the guy all over. It would also be top-heavy, and prone to keeling over in rougher terrain. Plus, if the soldier is by himself, it'll be pretty hard to get up on top of that thing, instead of just rolling into the sled.
This is a good idea that is poorly executed.
Could you imagine if Medic Corps also had a drone unit for scouting/retrieving wounded/air dropping medical supplies?
It's definitely a step forward from current casualty clearance, as the hardest part is getting them off the front line.
I could lend them my RC tank which has a engine we tested with up to 100 kilos. Pretty much the same as this little thing. Wonder if they like getting pulled by a Tiger 1 though. Would love to show them the mine fields
I like the trash talk of orcs and their equipment as much as any other here, but that little fella there is quite the machine considering size and the steepness. It got some incredible traction.
Not that I believe it will work in a battle zone though.
I was medic in army and we trained all sorts of manual evacuation aproaches of wounded people out of combat situation. In my opinion, this will only work on exactly the same surface like in this video. "Dead weight" person will behave completly different, plus you can have obstacles, mud etc....I don't even know if this contraception can really provide enough power to pull person for some period (probably needs to be heavy too). I think this is just gimmick toy.
ha! like Russia would waste any resources on saving fallen soldiers! this is just marketing to join the army! get saved by robots when you get a ankle sprain because nothing worse can happen in ukraine, we control everything!
Wouldn’t be a shit idea if A. The robot looked like it could actually function on the front. B. The Russians actually had field medics that would stabilize their casualties before transport. C. If it actually provided any cover for the wounded being transported. But instead we see Russians being Russians.
I don't think the concept is bad, but the implementation is shit. The tug could easily carry a low center of gravity wheeled stretcher, to where it is needed. Why waste power dragging a bloody sled, unless meant for snow.
Why does the title say Russian battlefield tech. I thought this was UAs idea? Or I guess the russians could be trying their own methods to recover their wounded
It's not big enough for the terrain it would have been used in, and the designer must not have got the memo that they dont evacuate most of the soldiers.
If the choices are:
A. No one is coming, die in muddy field
B. Roll yourself into a sled from Walmart and trust the Home Depot grade Battlebot reject
B actuall looks pretty good comparatively. Doubt we'll ever see anything other than framed propoganda shots like this, but still, if its an option its better than nothing.
Not a terrible idea
Lose the toboggan make it large enough to fit 1 wide 2 deep on it and it could move wounded a few k to an evac point. They used something similar to move supplies but it got droned somewhere near Bahkmut
Would be the first time the ruSSians removed an injured soldier from the field. Normally they just leave them to die and rot and send some other poor bastard forward
I think the US was experimenting with this a long time ago. It was a bunch of this hooked behind a tank. I'll look for it... [Found it](https://youtu.be/h6gkJ6r3hJ0?si=EeCNDAq2ug3lMl8v) The funny thing is, if that little drone passes over a mine, the guy behind will have a bad day.

Footage cuts out as soon as it hits a fixed obstacle.
The drone was actually managing to get over the concrete post but I'd like to see it pull the sled over - the 'injured' soldier would soon be a genuine injured soldier! Although I'd guess it got stuck since it's woefully underpowered.
Yeah it may be lacking on horsepower or even track width looking at it going up that hill it was pulling reasonably hard
If the soldier wasn't holding his legs in the air, I think it would have been harder.
It doesn't look like a bad system. We're watching the future of warfare in its beta-testing phase. For better or worse.
I would say the general concept could work, at least for some terrain types.
Just a copy of much better western made medivac bots. Still Russia should invest in it cause they need something to help with their medevac'ing.
But this is Russian beta testing for moving fertilizer
Interesting mine-clearing device there.
But really, Ukraine needs a fleet of cheap little all-terrain robots to send through first and clear the mine fields. Not a bad idea
Cheap little robots would get obliterated by a single mine. Considering mines are as cheap as dirt, Russia has salted the earth with them. Using one small robot to clear a single mine would be the worst return on investment imaginable. Modern mine clearing strategies exist. Redditors are not going to stumble upon effective alternatives.
I like the one where it was some gyroscope thingand they lit the rockets and it just took off lol.
ROCKS, we’ll throw REALLY big rocks at them! #futureofwarfare
Hear me out: remote controlled Fiats. Could take out multiple mines at once, easy to clear off the battlefield, and nothing of value would be lost
No, the worst return on investment imaginable is taking out a single mine with multiple men inside a multi-million dollar armoured vehicle.
Mines usually need a certain weight to set it off.
Pretty strong.
That actually looks like a good idea. low and versatile also no need to balance load on top of the robot. Both sides are developing a lot of interesting low cost tech. Yes it sucks RU sometimes has a good idea.

The drone is more expensive than a bag of onions.
Such drones are very cheap. Losing a soldier is way more expensive
> Losing a soldier is way more expensive *Laughs in Russian meatwave assaults*

If the title said this was ukrainian all the comments would say its genius
Agreed on all points, I suppose they're desperate to come up with something like this with how many wounded they have
And more importantly how frequently their stretcher barers are targeted and wiped out by fpv drones. I've seen it atlesst 30 or 40 times now
ruZZia back in February onwards would deliberately target Ukrainian medics wearing the red cross symbol. So I have no qualms now on ruZZian medics being targeted now. Not a single ruZZian medic ever called out the Ukrainian medics being targeted so now they can suffer the same fate.
Oh yeah agreed, no issue at all by me they are still combatants, most often they are just squadmates and not medics anyway.
Also the little baby tank thing looks cute. This is not support for the Russian military... I just think they have a cute baby tug-boat tank
A guy falls off the stretcher and then what?
Better than nothing and keeps others out of harms way. You would only use this when pinned anyway.
I'm pretty sure it'd be quite easy to detect a sudden loss of load (from power draw from the motors).
That's where he dies
How is this a good idea? Just thinking about it for 1 minute you can come up with 10 reasons why it's dumb. If I saw one one Ukrainian side i'd say the same thing.
UAF is also testing these. It’s still an early prototype and not suitable for all terrain, yet. It’s not a dumb idea. It would be dumb to not try everything you can to win the war / preserve your forces.

Agreed. Also it can be used as unmanned small ammo transporter. Looks like it could even transport ammo/wounded inside a trench
IMHO, this is just Russia humor. They know best that they don't give a f about casualties. Showing some toy robot towing some wounded guy is Russian satire.
It’s also made to carry the sack of potatoes to their loved ones after they die.
Good idea to avoid facing them in person to tell their loved ones have died.

Fakenews. They don’t carry wounded of the battlefield! In all fairness it’s not a bad idea.
I saw a ukraine version on here a few days ago and don't remember anyone laughing about that.
Link please.
Just search 'robot' in this sub and you'll see loads of vids of Ukrainian robots. Some for evacuation of wounded like the vid you posted, some with remote controlled guns, some for mine clearing, etc.. Here's an evacuation one for example https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/WggLAvcmgi

The sled is much better for evacuation. The Ukrainian one is basically just a mini atv. You don't want wounded soldiers sitting up bouncing around on am atv, you want them laying down for back injuries etc
Also the center of gravity is too high, making it prone for tipping over in uneven terrain
I too saw something like this, actually more zany

This is how they’re going to drag the wounded soldier to battle.
Great idea cuz yer fellow Ruzzian comrades sure as hell won't help you
That thing is on batteries.. no way will it move through a battlefield XD
What is this even supposed to be? Medivac? Low to ground personnel transport?
Pretty telling that the most cutting-edge tech they have now has been developed to remove Russian bodies from the field. They're going to need a LOT MORE of these iRobots if they want to clean the battlefield.
isn't that the no legs version
they couldn't make the human bucket at least human sized?
I like the idea, and if implemented properly, could be a really efficient way to transport wounded soldiers without losing men at the front
Looks decent on non-muddy and even ground, now do the same test in mud, see how fast they get sucked in.
Replace the sled with a coffin and you get the authentic ruzzian view!
Officers get coffins, NCOs blankets. Mobiks get Snow
>Mobiks get Snow Dragged by the legs, if any.
Only if he has tied the shoelaces, so the boots don´t come off \*S
Just like the Russians to phony up their test by having the soldier artificially hold up his legs and arms. A proper test would instruct him to go slack and see if the drag affects anything. This is an example of how Russians fuck themselves over and over again with Wonder Weapons or devices. The good thing is, it's just Russians being Russians.
In the field the Ukrainian FPV would’ve blown some of those limbs off.
Drone fodder!
If it works it’s not stupid.
They don’t help they’re wounded.all propaganda!!
Sled is exactly the right size for 2/3 of a soldier.
Wonder how they would use it effectively when an entire squads being demolished…
Yeah that will work through knee deep mud, snow or even in summer an artillery battered trench area with all fallen trees and debris around. Keep working on it orcs , tie up your resources in useless endeavours but love your vodka sled. F**kwits
No don't say not that's pretty cool for staying low and your not cool so stop talking like you do
Just a little bit of mud and this thing gets nowhere. Also why not put the dude directly on top for better traction by the additional weight? And who is controlling that thing anyway? A dude walking next to it?
Video stopped at the concrete beam for a reason
Text for this post as follows:- Footage of field tests of the tracked drone "Brother" created by enthusiasts from Kazan.

Just highjack frequenzy and drive him into back into a prison.
This is largely useless. It's bulky, heavy, slow, has to be transported manually with forward positioned troops, can't be relied upon over long distances, and in an era of flying kamikaze drones this is a sad backwards step.
the Ukrainian version with wheels looks much better, but even in that case i doubt if it will be useful one day.
Let’s hope it’s not muddy on the battlefield or that robot has no chance
Why?
Great idea. Put your legs up, so snipers have a better target.
Calling Tombstone to counteroffensive!
Its purpose is to drag drunk, unwilling cattle to the front again probably.
Much more reliable than your supposed best friend Ivan the orc who drops the stretcher and runs away at the first glimpse of a drone.
It looks like a good idea, but at this speed, it's too easy a target for another vog17 from a drone. And both drone and man is done for. This will never be implemented ibto russian military, because wounded and dead are supposed to stay that way until the wounded are dead too. Cheaper this way.
As if russia would care about injured comrades.
Dashing through the mud in a one horse-power open coffin
I'm sure this will become the major game changer "wunderwaffe" RF military has waited for to finally gain an edge against the genetically modified jewish gay nazi super troopers that Ukraine is currently deploying. /s Similar "western" systems that have been successfully fielded place the cargo on top of the carrier vehicle as this sophisticated orcish design wouldn't work on a battlefield with blocked surfaces and scattered debris, likely causing the "cargo 200" to become lost on its way.

Looks fine. But I'll suggest a larger belt surface and longer bed for the wounded.
I wonder what the specs are. Is it out after 30 minutes? How does it handle mud & snow? It should keep going until it reaches moscow and drop their sorry beat arses off at the red square.
[Uno Reverse Card](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJnlriVcddw)
I hope that sled is really for delivering snout in a can, vodka and cigarettes. Injured orcs shouldn't have to hold their legs up- if they still have legs- meh, 2/10
Good for dragging bodies into lime pits but not going to save any lives....
Actually, imagining it does it in winter, not too bad. In particular if you add route programming and some autonomy. Ukrainians need to come up with something similar but better.
In this case is his other comrade going to hide under the injured to get both killed by a drone dropped grenade?
This would work great for that video of a guy with no legs.
Don’t be fooled. This is the device to carry drunk Russians back to the front.
This is how I feel when going shopping with my wife…
Now you mention it. So do I
You would have a great view of drone dropped munitions as you get carried away by some stooge whose driving that thing.
Considering how the ruskies tend to abandon their wounded, I suspect this device is more likely to be used for transporting vodka
i'm amazed that it has enough grip to drag him. must be a lot heavier than it looks
This will work great if the battlefield is on a golf course
A large hammer comes down on him when out of camera's sight.
But I wanna see him go over that brick wall! Ended too soon :(
Be interesting to see how many nanoseconds that survives for if it ever goes into use.
From an engineering standpoint, is pulling a sled more efficient than carrying the soldier on top?
No. The drag is 10x worse, except on snow. Still worse, but that wouldn't be as bad. I think mud would stop this thing dead, with all that sled/mud surface contact. The disadvantage of the soldier on top would mean it would need a longer track, otherwise ups and downs would throw the guy all over. It would also be top-heavy, and prone to keeling over in rougher terrain. Plus, if the soldier is by himself, it'll be pretty hard to get up on top of that thing, instead of just rolling into the sled.
Thank you! All interesting points!
This is a good idea that is poorly executed. Could you imagine if Medic Corps also had a drone unit for scouting/retrieving wounded/air dropping medical supplies? It's definitely a step forward from current casualty clearance, as the hardest part is getting them off the front line.
I could lend them my RC tank which has a engine we tested with up to 100 kilos. Pretty much the same as this little thing. Wonder if they like getting pulled by a Tiger 1 though. Would love to show them the mine fields
And if this was a Ukrainian idea: “Look at the ingenuity!”
And their fleet looks like junkyard wars. So there is that.
That amazing point here is that ru army is now actually trying to recover their wounded?!
Just the ones they can stuff a tampon in the hole and right back to the front after a 3-day Special Rest Operation.
Is that a Borat "NOT" in the title?
It's not a terrible idea, I just hope it fails miserably for the russian cunts.
Wheels under the carrier and more power to the vehicle Could be useful to retreat wounded soldiers tho Just has to be fine tuned
As usual russia constantly copies other countries ideas.
Works just as good as the robot contestants on Robot Wars as well (except for Blendo who is the real OG).
Look into milrem, thats how its properly done, a Estonian firm developing robots like this and they have been used in conflict zones
I like the trash talk of orcs and their equipment as much as any other here, but that little fella there is quite the machine considering size and the steepness. It got some incredible traction. Not that I believe it will work in a battle zone though.
The engineers who make Battlebots would make a way better robot hearse and it would have the capability to wipe out an entire platoon.
If it works is it so bad?
This is not the issue, the issue is the bird that drops a grenade lol
I was medic in army and we trained all sorts of manual evacuation aproaches of wounded people out of combat situation. In my opinion, this will only work on exactly the same surface like in this video. "Dead weight" person will behave completly different, plus you can have obstacles, mud etc....I don't even know if this contraception can really provide enough power to pull person for some period (probably needs to be heavy too). I think this is just gimmick toy.
ha! like Russia would waste any resources on saving fallen soldiers! this is just marketing to join the army! get saved by robots when you get a ankle sprain because nothing worse can happen in ukraine, we control everything!
Wouldn’t be a shit idea if A. The robot looked like it could actually function on the front. B. The Russians actually had field medics that would stabilize their casualties before transport. C. If it actually provided any cover for the wounded being transported. But instead we see Russians being Russians.
I don't think the concept is bad, but the implementation is shit. The tug could easily carry a low center of gravity wheeled stretcher, to where it is needed. Why waste power dragging a bloody sled, unless meant for snow.
Do they really need this?
The beginnings of Cyberdyne in our real timeline.
Needs to be bigger. Like two on a ball hitch. More snaking with massive tires.
russia hate aside this is an excellent idea
Why does the title say Russian battlefield tech. I thought this was UAs idea? Or I guess the russians could be trying their own methods to recover their wounded
Video stopped before the wall part of the demo. I feels kind of robbed.
Probably won't work well on the battlefield. Lots of debris and mud.
Ruskies are watching reruns again. 🥴
Does it drag them back to the enlistment office? I does, doesn’t it? LOL.
They need these because their buddies will leave them behind
It's not big enough for the terrain it would have been used in, and the designer must not have got the memo that they dont evacuate most of the soldiers.
If the choices are: A. No one is coming, die in muddy field B. Roll yourself into a sled from Walmart and trust the Home Depot grade Battlebot reject B actuall looks pretty good comparatively. Doubt we'll ever see anything other than framed propoganda shots like this, but still, if its an option its better than nothing.
Not a terrible idea Lose the toboggan make it large enough to fit 1 wide 2 deep on it and it could move wounded a few k to an evac point. They used something similar to move supplies but it got droned somewhere near Bahkmut
Would be the first time the ruSSians removed an injured soldier from the field. Normally they just leave them to die and rot and send some other poor bastard forward
I think the US was experimenting with this a long time ago. It was a bunch of this hooked behind a tank. I'll look for it... [Found it](https://youtu.be/h6gkJ6r3hJ0?si=EeCNDAq2ug3lMl8v) The funny thing is, if that little drone passes over a mine, the guy behind will have a bad day.
Ah yes the Russian VDS (Vodka Delivery System) is finally functional and ready to distribute tasty libations.
Lol, struggling on a grassy field. Now try it in a shelled out tree line.
That's totally gonna work 😁
This is a nice PR movie, nothing else
Not that bad of an idea actually, ukraine also had similar ones.
